What Parker Are You Using This Day?

My first 51 came in and busted it straight out for use. Great so far!

Congratulations. Nice pen.

Parker 15 filled with Chesterfield Archival ink (supposedly repackaged Diamine Registrar's Ink).

 

This was my first Parker, a gift from a friend in London who found in a desk drawer in his mom's house. Said it didn't write, so he thought I would be interested in it merely as a non-functioning curiosity. But a thorough cleaning fixed it and my journey with Parker FPs began.

Still the '53 teal Parker 51. When all the others have gone, this one will probably remain with me.

Today is the first full day of work for my Parker 75, after being under repair since January. I bought the pen new in the early 1980s. For years it was the my fountain pen. It came back with a new (NOS) section last week. Yesterday, a new cap arrived in the mail, courtesy of Li-Tah Wong. It's a cisele model and I had polished the barrel years ago, so barrel and cap don't quite match. But at this point, that's a character mark and I'm eager to have the back.

My Parker Sonnet is gliding over the paper, spilling Waterman black on the paper.

I had been using my Bexley Corona with a glorious stub ground by Linda from Indy-Pen Dance exclusively for the last week. So I am Inking up a new member to the family today: a 1945-6 Duofold NS with brown/gold marbled celluloid. Thinking about using Gate City True blue in it...i purchased this from Dayne's pens--he did a beautiful job restoring this old gem. If my writing was worth anything, I'd post a review as I am sure this English Parker will be a superb writer...

"51" Special Burgundy with a Broad 14k nib (R&K Alt-Bordeaux) and a P45 with a stuby medium nib (Noodler's BBK)...delicious!

My Parker 75 is skipping a lot.

I think it'll be better soon.

Been using another P45 Flighter, steel M nib, and Parker Black cartridge. Very nice indeed.

The best (and first) of my several P51's. burgundy pen with a fairly clean gold cap. F-M nib, I got a sample of Cut Pens Deep Dark red from a friend in England. I like it but as with so many dark reds, it dries to a somewhat more brown tone than I care for. Still searching for that Oxblood color which looks more dark red than brown. But the pen, ... really can't be improved upon.

[william2001]

I am using my Parker 75.

The skipping problem has been solved.
